my crankshaft pulley on my b16a engine is loose and i think it got worn out it now makes a horrible noise and when ever the car is on, im not running the car, fear it might destroy the crankshaft " and parts ant cheap here" .
any suggestions on how to deal with this??

Well first off id take the belt off the pully itself and see if there is any play if there is play then see about tightening the pulley bolt if that dosent work take it off and look at the pulley tooth....there is one squareish rectangular peice that is a key to lining it up that may be warn down so that would be my first setup right there.... is to do what i just said and see if that helps....

yep the pulley's gone... gotta go look for one. do i have to do any additional work for the new one to fit or it jus slap on and bolt up??

wait what do you mean pulley is gone? as it flew off the car?? if it popped off there may be damage done unless you can put the bolt back in but yea i dont understand what you mean by its gone....

my bad i mean its all worn out, and damaged

How?? the pulley is just metal with a key is the key bad??

but yea as long as the threads on the crankshaft are fine and the pulley key ist busted or the crankshaft end isnt screwed up then bolting on another pulley should be simple....

I have a spare B-series crank pulley if you want it. PM me for price. You'll still need the woodruf key, but those are cheap from the dealer.

yep the key fell out "sumhow" and the pulley got totally fucked and the crank got a little chip where the key goes but i got one today from a B18 motor.there is no movement on the new key " thank god'..all i have to change the alternator belt though cuz the pulley is bigger..but besides that its fits fine

Woo! Glad to hear it.
